wife of a f. n living fCltteen

snakes were noticed fighting and
she told her son to kill them. TAX

heads of both were fiat ed .esem-
bled snakes head, while their
lounges were protruding continually.
No attempt has been made to clothe
the monstrosities, and they have
been kept in separate boxes. The
moment they are put together they
commence to fight and run out
their tongues in the most disgust
ing manner. They are at this time
alive and well, but the family has
attempted to keep the facts from
the newspapers.

The wooahou.e Mystery.

The Walker Lake Bulletin pub
fishes the following letter: In re-
lation to the Woodhouse murder
and robbery case, a move in the
right direction has been made by
the citizens of Esmeralda county,
in raising funds for the employ
ment of an experienced Detective
and searching for the recovery of
the remains of the missing man.
The committee of Finances selected
are believed to be trustworthy men
and it is to be hoped that they will
do their full duty and see to it that
a creditable response is made. The
importance of the cause demands
prompt attention, cold weather and
storms will soon come to further
obliterate tracks and traces at the
scene of the tragedy.

Mrs. E2cEOnaid shoots Her
Faiher-in-Law

SAN Francisco, October 90
About 80 this evening, in the par
lors of the Baldwin Hotel, Mrs.
Clara Belle Mcdonald. wife of Nc
Donald, Jr., Vice President Of the
Pacific Bank, attempted to shoot
McDonald's father, L, I'll. Melon
aid.
From the facts as they can now
be learned Mrs. Mcdonald had had
lengthy consultation with her ia
tler-in-law at the latter's room.
Tney then repaired to the parlor of
the hotel, where the conversation
was continued.
Soon Mr. Mcdonald spoke about it
being late and he wished to retire.
When about to leave the room NJ. 5.
Mcdonald drew a pistol and fired at
him. Mcdonald then seized her
and attempted to take the pistol
away, when she fred again. BY
this tune She had fallen to tie floor
in tie scufIle that ensued and Me-
Donald, still attempting to grasp
the pistol, was On top.
Mrs. Mcdonald then fred third
shot, this one taking slight effect in
his forehead.
The guests of the hotel then
rushed in and stopped further ac-
ton. Mrs. Mcdonald was then ia
ken to the City Jail. She appeared
cool and collected. On her person
was also found a dagger.
How severely Mcdonald is in
jured cannot now be ascertained.
This shooting is the outgrowth of
we'll known marital troubles be-
tween Mrs. Mcdonald and her hus-
band.
The direct cause of the shooting
appears to be as follows: The con-
versation had in the main been am
icable until about the time they
were to separate, when Mrs. Nc
Donald proposed to Mcdonald, ST.,
that If he would settle $50, 900 on
her and $50, 900 ON her child she
would compromise out of court
pending the divorce suit between
herself and husband. If, however,
Mcdonald, ST., would not give
these amounts she would kill him,
her child and her husband.
Mcdonald positively declined to
give these amounts OF money, saying
that her husband, his son, had al
ready given her more than $50, 900.
: Upon his refusal to accept her
proposition she fired, with the above
results.

OLD TIME BALLOT STUFF

How the San Francisco ssVigs.,

How the San Francisco ssVigss,
Secreted their Prisoners.
Prior to 1856 ballot-box stuffing
was very generally resorted to by
ward politicians in San Francisco
to insure their election or the cleo
ton of their friends. This was an
offence which the Vigilance Com
mittee felt constrained 10 punish.
together with other and graver
ones. On making arrests the Com
mittee usually secreted their prison
ers SO that no habeas corpus could
avail for their release. This state
of affairs gave rise to the following
little story related in Bancroft
Popular Tribunals, Vol. II:
"My FRIEND" SAID Paul Pry of
the Gubernatorial oraer to a men,

strong desire TO know how you

shadow of them can be found"
"Well," replied the vigilant, al
hardly think l should tell you; but
will you promise secrecy"
"Most profound.

THE cURFEw ORDINANCE.
Ii Ought TO be Enforced at the
Present Time.

Some years ago an ordinance was
passed nv which a "Curfew bell''
was to be tolled at s O'Clock and all
under Is were prohibited from ap-
pearing on the street after that
hour
The bell clangs from the Curry
engine house at, that hour but the
OF finance is dead letter.
During the last few days this
journal has called attention to a sad
state of affairs existing among the
young of this city. Had this ordi-
nance been properly enforced and
the young % both sexes made to
leave the st, Get alter O'Clock, this
state of affairs wouid OF have been
SO bad as reported.
There seems to be a class of peo-
pie in this city utterly blind to the
course taken uy their children.
There are young giis in this city
who have hecome as b.aZen and
shameless in their wee, as profess
sionais. This is a terrible state
ment to make but it is the truth and
the worst OF it ali is that nearly ey-
erypody in the city knows it to be
iue-except tie parents OF the
children.
A gentleman called at this Office
yesterday, u well known man, the
father OF family, and he made
revelations of the terrible state of
affairs now existing in this city
which was simply appalling and too
horrible to be published. He said
that there were girls in the public
schools who were mingling daily
with pure and innocent children and
were communicating them.
He said he had seen these girls
on the street after dark accosting
utter strangers and making appoint
ments with circus men aud theatre
cal people. He believed that if the
authorities We're to take every girl
under a certain aye, home to her
parents if found on the streets after
s o'clock it would help break up
the evil and no doubt good many
parents would be astonished to see
daughter brought TO the front
door at O'Clock at night whom
they supposed sound asleep In bed.
He named a certain building on
Main street which had become no.
torious, aud from which young girls
could be seen coming out of at all
hours Of the night. He said further
that his eyes had been opened most
when he discovered by accident
that some of the trusted compan-
ions of his own daughter We're in
the habit at night of visiting the
rooms OF entire strangers. He had
heard strange stories floating about
few months ago. but did not be-
lieve them, but after taking pans
to investigate he found a state of af-
fairs which appalled, him. He made
up his mind that his daughter would
no longer be on the streets after
shutdown, or attend the public
schools of Carson.
This article Is written in the hope
that a good many people who have
closed their eyes to existing fact in
Carson will look more closely after
the welfare of children they have
neglected, and consider their own
effsprings of sufficient importance to
know where they are at NIT.
